The other day while watching the news my heart was disheartened by the news article of the little girl who was chopped and her maid.
One person can be insane but when three collectively gang up to commit such an atrocity on an innocent soul, I find it way beyond insanity. My only peace is in believing that the little angel is at a better place.

My prayer goes to the little girl’s parents and relatives. This is just too painful for them to bear, to accept and move from.

I do not know what drives someone to such insanity. Could it have been drugs, hatred, greed, jealousy? What would surely justify such an act?

Reading is important, but I feel if I have to read all the material that comes my way it will be a full time job. What’s your take?

Well I have started a file just to replace the heap of Magazines in my room. Why? Because I am sick and tired of all the magazines some dating back 10 years that I don’t throw away because of one or two articles in them that interest me.

Schooling or career related. I want to go back to school and take an MBA, a Law Degree and a Finance Degree. My only fear is that I have yet to master the discipline of daily reading, how do I go about it? Any ideas and or tips from those who have had to balance studying, parenting and working?

I believe that books are a part of life, as readers we have to select what to read and what to apply to our lives from what we read. Life’s a journey; it gets harder as we grow older.

The best public and resident toilet in Nairobi is situated at the Fairview Hotel. Kudos for that

Adults jumping queues in traffic, do they think the rest of us are parked?

Lack of courtesy on the road we don’t need the police or traffic lights. We need courtesy!

What are the things that drive you nuts?

It was a Saturday morning like any other to me and I was going about my normal business. My day was interrupted by a phone call from the head of my Landscaping department, telling me a pregnant woman was in labor in the park, and asked that I come right away.

Some of my landscape workers, former ex-Street boys, were by the highway waiting to flag me down. They led me into the park by foot, since traffic would have put my arrival much later. Two women in the park had taken control of the situation delivering a beautiful baby girl to a laboring young woman. Within seconds, the baby was turning blue and the only thing to wrap the baby in was a head scarf. By this time, I held the baby, covered in blood, as the two women delivered the placenta.
